For the small stuff, like a cyclist that just went down in front of you...


The only time that happened to me, it was my wife who was the fallen obstacle. Everything seemed to go in slow motion as I contemplating trying to bunny hop her (a trick I had not attempted in 30 years). I was relatively certain there was no way I could swerve in time. I made no conscious decision as my body took over and successfully steered around her. I just shook my head in amazement as I realized I what had happened. She was unhurt from the fall and only a few minor scratches on the bike resulted.
